you can't sue the gun industry, and the gun industry isuniquelyunregulated. sothe bushmaster and the smith and westons and the server capitalists, they fund the nra, the nra does everything they say they should do and as a result our u.s. senate can't even take a vote in support of uniform background checks for criminals. i mean this is so outrageous. what they basically did is say that we're limiting the bill to background checks at gun shows and on the internet, but in 33 states, prove gun dealers can sell guns undetected to criminals, and that's legal. and they couldn't even pass that legislation. so we need to win back our democracy, which is outrageously destroyed by special there's money and we saw first hand what congress is willing do. they're willing to continue to take nra and gun industry blood money and ignore the fact that 87% of americans die from guns every day. this bill was willfully lacking. it didn't even include a magazine limitation on the number of rounds and it didn't include military style weapons or safe storage. it didn't do anything to stop the next

have been able to bully everybody else into going along with their vision of alrjlyunregulatedfirearmsmarketplace. but then there was the shooting of then congresswoman gabrielle giffords and 19 others in tucson which left six of those victims dead, including a 9-year-old girl. and the mass shooting in the aurora, colorado, movie theater that killed 12 and wounded 58 others. and then the straw that broke the camel's back, the shooting at sandy hook elementary school. the open question after that was would the sheer horror of that event and the images of these dead children shake up something about the political status quo that had previously benefitted the small and intense and well organized anti-gun regulation group? when legislation expanding background checks crafted with nra consultation by a bipartisan coalition of senators went down under the weight of a filibuster, it would not have been crazy to conclude at that point that the answer was sadly no. the politics on the issue were set and a single tragedy or even a series of monstrous tragedies no matter how awful would

with the florida seminoles in the florida seminoles were first to come upwithunregulatedindiangaming and what that meant was that as other tribes saw them particularly the antigua of connecticut they travel to florida to see and to watch and learn from the seminoles how did you guys do that in starting the indian gaming operation which was legal at the time. they took these ideas and suggestions back to connecticut and they came to recognize the tribe and obtained trust land which was the former reservation put into trust status and then began to build gaming operations which has since developed into the largest gaming operation in the entire world. so from that we have other tribes imitating and using the example of the florida seminoles and the antigua's and the foxwoods and you have something like you see behind me right here as a tribal casino. the interesting part of this in building the indian nations is most tribes who entered into the gaming operations did not succeed. in fact about 20% of those who would go into the indian gaming operations actually of that 20% not that many but seve
